We offer two kinds of lymphatic drainage massage (LDM):
​Simply Lymph Drainage and POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage 


LDM is intended to stimulate and encourage the natural movement of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back towards the heart. It is a technique based on gentle, rhythmic and constant movements that mimic the rhythm of the body’s lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system maintains the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, immune mechanisms, and helps eliminate your body’s waste. Lymph fluid can become stuck in the body, sometimes causing swelling. LDM can help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions. 

​
What to expect:
Your therapist will use a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over your body. These light rhythmic movements stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. Your therapist will follow a specific sequence over the body so to throughout address any lymph trapped, making sure every area is treated with care.

​If you want a restorative massage to get your lymph system flowing:

POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage Massage FAQ:

Q: Who needs POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
A: Anyone who has recently undergone surgery and has a doctors approval to receive bodywork.
Q: Why do I need a LDM post-op?
A: Oftentimes after surgery, your body will swell with excessive edema both at and proximal to the surgical site.  This post-operative swelling, while completely normal, can be quite uncomfortable. Sluggishness, decreased range of motion, increased sensitivity, inability to sleep comfortably, and an overall feeling of puffiness can often occur during the surgical recovery process. LDM will assist in getting your lymph system flowing properly to reduce your swelling and increase your comfort as well as help you receive your best results from surgery. ​
Q: How soon after surgery should I book an appointment?
A: Check with your doctor - many often recommend as early as possible, ideally within the first few day’s post-surgery. The number of appointments you need can also vary.
Q: Who do I book with?
A: book a POST-OP Lymphatic Drainage Massage with Irina
